[RTTY] Contest this weekend

[VE3FH]

I don't agree with that, at least in SWO, 400W puts much stronger signals than 100W. That's easy to notice by working British stations in the ARRL DX Contest.
And that's not the reason anyway, as I recall it the sponsor's justification is that they cannot enforce a power limit. I actually find the explanation rather peculiar considering the contest has single-op and multi-op categories but hey I drive on the right side of the road...

REPLY:

Perhaps that's because the power limit in the UK is just 400 watts,
and they figure that's close enough to 100 watts that no separate
category is needed. It is just one S-unit.

In any event, I count 10 classes plus SWL. Isn't that "many"?

Hope to see you there.
